1 What is Right Someone Has to Die? Ex 20:13 bowler 208043
  How should we view saving a pregnant woman's life when it is either save her, or save the baby, as that means we have to kill one to save the other?

Killing is always wrong. In this case God is not providing an option, it is either one, or the other.

Question; how is doing anything one way or the other right in the sight of God and which one based on scriptures would you choose?

I can't decide.

Ps, this is not to debate Catholicism with Protestantism.

2 What is Right Someone Has to Die? Ex 20:13 Morant61 208045
  Greetings Bowler!

Are we going to being another 'assumed either or' questions? :-)

First of all, Scripture never says that killing is always wrong. Murder is forbidden, but God sometimes order people to kill whether in war or in cases of capital punishment.

I would assume that we all agree that God cannot command someone to sin.

Your assumed 'either or' situation though makes discussion difficult.

There is a difference between trying to save both and losing one (or both) and deliberately killing one of the two.

The other problem is that we are left with only once possible solution, and one possible outcome. However, this is not the reality of the situation, ever.

So, how should a Christian choose? We certainly should not 'murder' one to save another since this would be a direct violation of God's law.

Your Brother in Christ,

Tim Moran
3 What is Right Someone Has to Die? Ex 20:13 bowler 208057
  Tim Moran

There are indeed cases where it is medically true that there is the option of seeing what will actually happen, and then there is what I posed, where it has been medically shown that a decision needs to be made, or both will die; therefore one must be choosen.

There is no reason why "either or questions" are not valid questions, they are just "problematic" questions, which is exactly my point.

The entire matter of Christians ethics is of great interest to me and was of course sparked by recent posts, but I am not posting to push my views on old posts in making new posts. I am truly interested in difficult situations and problematic scripture interpretations as that is part of valid Bible study.
